# dft command names

Hello @maliberty, @fgaray, I've just seen dft commands, but not tried it yet.
The name of the commands seemed familiar, and I was wondering if it could be better to rename them to avoid potential legal issues such as this one:

In case of renaming, maybe all dft commands could start with dft_* so that it's easy to find them ?
### fgaray
Yeah, changing the names SGTM to avoid this issue.
Do we know what other tools use to name this commands? (Cadence for example). I tried looking online but could not find Cadence's related docs.
dft_insert, dft_scan_replace, dft_preview SGTM

Thanks, we want to avoid any such conflicts. I am not aware of the proprietary tool names but am fine with a rename to avoid such.
